BADGERS TAKING TO THE SKI SLOPES?
Three cheers for some of the UK’s best agents! COUNTRYWIDE CELEBRATES SUCCESS
Following the Badger Holdings annual awards ceremony, held in Old Windsor, the winners of the top awards have returned from their fi ve day trip to Courchevel, in the heart of Les Trois Vallées, France, where they celebrated on the slopes.
Séamus Kavanagh, Group
Chief Executive of Badger Holdings, (Townends, Regents, dot fi nancial services, Tyser Greenwood Surveyors and INEX Property Solutions), accompanied the 19 award winners on the trip to Courchevel 1850, where, after the experiencing the thrills (and a few spills) of the slopes the Badger people came out at night to sample the Après Ski. Séamus commented, “We
really believe in rewarding those who perform to the best of their ability throughout the year, aiming to plan a trip which is as good, if not better, as the one before, to keep motivating everyone to fulfi l their potential. Feedback from this trip has been that it was the best ever and the buzz and enthusiasm within the business as a result has been superb. Having been to New York, Las Vegas and now Courchevel in the last three years we are going to have a tough time topping it next year, but I’m sure we’ll think of something.”

THE BLACK BEAR LETTING AGENT WINS!

year the team has reached the fi nal of the annual competition which sees teams across the UK battle it out to be crowned champions. Three members of
staff from the Altrincham Jordan’s offi ce regularly swap house keys for hockey skates to play for the Black Bears. The team also has players from across the globe including Bart Lang who has played for Poland and Czech-born former professional player Michal Uryga who won the best player of the tournament.
In the semi-fi nal they slid to
victory with a 5-0 win over Kingston Cobras before going on to beat Durham Dragons in a dramatic 2-0 fi nal. The team founded by Laurie in Blackburn in 2005 relocated to Altrincham in 2007 with the opening of Silver Blades ice rink. Laurie Tebb, manager of both the Black Bears and Altrincham’s
Jordan’s offi ce, said: “We’ve been in the fi nal for four years now and retaining the trophy is quite special. We’re the team to beat. We’ve got our sights set on winning even more trophies – there are some international tournaments we’re keen to become a part of. Watch out for Black Bears on tour!”
